Liked It “As good as the first book, the Crimson Rose gives us inside information about the Pink Carnation and how she operates. Always a great story to read and later discuss. And our researcher's life is always one of interest. The story within a story is quite a way to keep the reader on their toes!” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I was not at all able to fully enjoy the character of Mary--it was almost the same thing that happened with Amy in 'The Secret History of the Pink Carnation,' but for the opposite reason. Eloise's side of the story however, as well as the intrigue throughout the book, aid to that effect.”

“4th in the series. So who is the bad guy? The ploy thickens. I bet Napoleon is going mad with all these smart women twarting him at every turn. As for the romance...Get it together already!”

“This is one of the better installments of the series. This book deals with the jilted sister from the Emerald Ring, Mary Alsworthy. Mary has been recruited to help root out the Black Tulip, and in the process may just find true love. The dialogue, character interplay and intriigue are second to none.”

“Definitely not my favorite of the series. Going into the book I already had a severe dislike for Mary, so it was tough for me at the beginning. As the story progressed, I warmed up to her, and I LOVE Lord Vaughn. This book goes into my favorites only because it's part of the Pink Carnation series.”

“The audio version of this book is wonder. The narrator, Kate Reading, does an absolutely fantastic job with the book.”

“Not as good as the previous books in the serious, for sure. I liked the banter that was back and forth between the two main characters, but the book just felt SO SLOW. I only really finished reading it because I love the series, and want to know what happens next! I would definitely recommend the series, but not this particular book.”

“Loved it! The ending was a bit much but the chemistry between Vaughn and Mary makes up for it!”

“I honestly didn't think I would like this one, mostly because the character of Mary Alsworthy was so awful in the previous book! I didn't think I would find her to be a likable heroine by the end of the book, but I did! It doesn't compare to the first three in simply enjoyable chick lit, but I did think it was still a good read, and one that I wouldn't mind re-reading later on. ”
